Drupal Path Redirects

Question:
How best to set-up 301 redirects?
Path Redirect

This module allows you to specify a redirect from one path to another path or an external URL, using any HTTP redirect status.

Some related and recommended modules for redirects:

  • Pathauto
    can be configured to automatically generate path redirects to ensure that URL alias changes do not break existing links. Be sure to use the latest version of Pathauto (5.x-2.3 or 6.x-1.x-dev).
  • Taxonomy redirect
    allows the administrator to change the destination of taxonomy term links. This means the redirect only works for taxonomy links placed by the taxonomy module. It also means if you type the url in to your browser the redirect doesn't work.
  • Global Redirect
    ensures that your content is only visible at the one, best URL possible (i.e. requests for node/2 or node/2/ are forwarded to alias-for-node-2).
  • Pathologic
    helps transform relative links in content to absolute URLs. Most helpful when you move your site to a new domain or different folder.
  • Links checker
    checks for broken links on your website.
